The' picture, filmed largely' in Canada and ' Montana, is inter preted by a cast of 20 celebrated players with Antonio Moreno and Renee Adoree in the leading ro mantic roles.

It is expected that the three pro posals to be placed before the leg islature will be: 1. A tax of one cent a gallon on gasoline, to raise about 1 1,200, 000 per year. 2. A 15 license fee for tobacco dealers and a 5 per cent tax on the gross sales of tobacco. - (, 3.

I They may not have noticed the driver; but it is a certainty that the driv er," handcuffed ta the wheel of the doggedly circling" coar, watched each new arrival, from- the first flushing of dawn and throughout the dayi with a great 'dear of envy, for he has been driving steadily now since - boon ' yesterday. He will attempt to drive without sleep until late Saturday afternoon. l'WelU that's 25 hours out of the way at least," he sighed wearily an hour after 6 this morning. No burst of speed to be worked out of a straining thoroughfare over a matter of a few furlongs of race track to finish before a crowd of rare followers in Mexico; but a long, tiresome grind over seem ingly unending miles of pavement was the task started here shortly after noon yesterday by Albin Prybylek, former jockey at the Tia Juana track in Mexico.

The rules of the test-is he can stop the car, but never the Whippet motor, and to have no sleep or food other than Fairmount ierfectly pasteur ized milk. With him went William Detlefs, college student of 1427 Fairmount street, George McMey- ers, 30 Commercial street. They are the first of the judges 'who will ride with Prybylek during the run. MuCh of the first day or the endurance test was spent on the streets of Salem, with a few short excursions into the surrounding region. The hood of the car was sealed by Chief of Police MInto after one filling of Parabase base oil, sup plied by the General Petroleum company. Then Prybylek put the motor in gear and went to a Gen eral Petroleum independent sta tion and picked up gas. Prybylek will try and outdo a rival, "Lowboy Matthews," who has drJven..lQ0 hes,in a similar test. Should he succeed int lasting until" 5:30 Saturday, when he will come to a stop at the Glese-Powers Furniture company, he will be of fered a chance to try a transcon tinental run from- New Yorjk,Jo San Francisco, which will.'carty. ai rich prize in cash; also '. h i will win a purse as his wife.

All volunteer and-i police -forces of the French concession3 were called to arms when the shelling was begun, and with machine guns they guarded all entrances to the district from the adjoining native city. It was thought for a tinte that an effort would be made to'oVerrun the foreign sections of the city. . The international settlements. other foreign districts of Shang hai, were not menaced by the gun fire, they being to the north of the line of fire, which was direct ed southward. The heavy foreign naval and military forces were aroused by the sound of firing, but did not participate in the disturbance, with the exception of the two French warships which manned their guns. Alert to protect foreign lives and property, if -need be, there are at Shanghai more than 25 foreign warships, and more than 10,000 fighting men'available for shore duty. -These, it is .believed, will be sufficient to- guard" the in terests of .' jthe - many thousand foreign residents living in a city of a: million, Chnese. :t; LONDON, Feb. 22. -(AP)- The shelling of Shanghai has alarmed the members of the house of commons, who today pressed the government's spokesmen for information. The ministers, how ever, were without official advices on the latest disturbance. There is confidence in London that the score or more of foreign warships' at Shanghai will surely be able to deal with one or two mutinous Chinese craft, if the in ternational settlement is endan gered. ' The real significance of the bombardment of the Kiangnan arsenal at Shanghai by a Chinese gunboat In the Whangpoo river is that this ,ia the first defection to the Cantonese among the Chin ese forces which are supposed to be defending Shanghai.
